One of Elite Elevators’ spectacular features is the Soft Start and Stop (SSS) technology. This ensures a smooth and comfortable ride, minimising abrupt movements that could pose risks to passengers, especially those with mobility issues.

Here’s a checklist to assess the safety features of your home elevator:

Safety Checklist
